Why r/GenderCritical was banned by Reddit

Hi! TRA here! Thought I'd take a quick breather from all the crowing, high-fiving, etc. to throw a lifeline to any actual open-minded critical thinkers wondering why Reddit banned r/gendercritical. Basically, you have 2 options when it comes to what to believe:

  1. It's a true conspiracy: silicon valley, hollywood & the media are in the thrall of the well-funded TransAgenda, the need for woke points, child-groomers, women-haters, MRAs, etc. etc.
  1. r/GenderCritical was hateful - if you want evidence then go to r/GenderCynical which existed to harvest said hatefulness. Read their strictly enforced rules about hate speech, misogyny, anti-feminism, pile-ons, doxxing, etc. (NB: abbreviating "trans exclusionary radical feminist" is not considered hate speech on this subreddit) and then sort their posts by "top" and "all time" and judge for yourself.

The trans men, trans women and non-binary people of Reddit do not hate women and do not tolerate abuse. Have a better day. x

The problem with the sheep and hand maidens attaching themselves to the bekind hashtag is that they’re failing to see the small print at play here. That’s when the reverse ferret will come in, when suddenly a swathe of people will realise what the ideology is really all about.

This takes time though and honestly I think this sub forum will be shut down by them before that happens. Just be prepared for that, but as a PP so beautifully put, for every head that gets cut off another three will grow.

I'm actually more likely to decamp to GenderCritical now than when it was on Reddit because I don't like Reddit. So if this thread goes the way it seems like it's going to I'll see you all on the other, now endless creepy subreddit free side?

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 01/07/2020 09:28

The fact that childhood injustice continues into adulthood is one of those little female socialization things that we're supposed to pretend doesn't exist.

TRA's always make me laugh at their one track mindedness, they still dont get it after all this time.

Censorship is like a hydra you cut on head off and three more appear in its place regardless of political backgrounds or leanings. Im no fan of Donald Trump but do you think that banning subreddit like The_Donald will make its users go away? No they will be motivated MORE now to push their views across and this will filter into real life politics.

GenderCritical has already set up elsewhere and more groups protecting female rights will pop up as well, the internet is a big place after all. 😊

Hey OP while you and your buddies are celebrating and patting yourselves on the back, have you taken a second out of your day to ask yourself why there has been such a backlash against the TRA movement recently?
Do you actually think its because 'lots of people are ignorant and transphobic"? Or do you think its because the TRA's such as yourself have been given the green light to constantly make ridiculous demands and censor others for so long that more people are beginning to notice and realise just how toxic your movement is? No one likes shitty ideology being forced on their everyday lives.

I'm sorry to say that you and your allies just dont to be that bright not to have noticed that ultimately you atre your own worst enimies, not the women you love to label 'TERF's'.

But by all means please keep celebrating that you have thrown women off ONE platforn on the internet, we're still here. We're not going anywhere.😁

By the end of the day this thread will probably be nothing but the OP gloating and jokes that make no sense because the comment they were responding to has been deleted, judging by its current progress.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 01/07/2020 09:15

From that thread, um, "defund the police" does not actually mean "fund these other things". It means exactly what it says on the tin, regardless of whether you agree or disagree.

@ItsLateHumpty

I’m glad you’re ok now Rufus Hope FIL is gone and the kids are still sleeping so you can have a quiet Brew
Thanks humpty

Kids are well old so not much bother

Though dd seems to think that her hangovers are my problem

And fil only came round to look at the new garage door 😩

justanotherneighinparadise · 01/07/2020 09:12

I must post this tweet as it’s made me smile this morning. One day we’ll get our moment in the sun girls, where all these sheep finally understand and do the reverse ferret.

Aside, but if my mum was still around I'd order her a gift basket to thank her for doing me the massive, lifechanging favor of not socializing me to be "nice" to people who mean me harm.

DickKerrLadies · 01/07/2020 09:09

Damn, I was supposed to be trying to be less sarcastic. Nvm.

We're in a rather odd situation when an OP admits that they're trolling but the mods decide that they're not in terms of how all this relates to self ID.

Smegmaballet · 01/07/2020 09:07

*due

The thing is some people will be turned by gender critical arguments but many women won't because they feel obliged to be "nice".

But when they see how "nice" the other side is being they may lose some of that female socialisation.

DickKerrLadies · 01/07/2020 09:07

If threads started by self-admitted trolls are going to remain from now on, I don't think I'd mind that.

I think even I'd be surprised by the sheer number of troll threads that are usually deleted if they were to be left up - even if they were to be locked. As depressing as it would be to see, it would be illuminating at least.

(This post is not trollhunting - as the OP has admitted trolling, so I am hoping this does not break talk guidelines and won't be deleted)

RufustheRowlingReindeer · 01/07/2020 09:06

Is it humpty

I got up early cos bloody FIL knocked on the front door at 7.45am, dh threw himself down the stairs

The children have gone nocturnal and I’m not getting up til 9 usually

And then i got all stressed...i was having palpitations 😩 I’m very sensitive.

Im ok now though

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 01/07/2020 09:06

I just find it interesting that blatant goading is "civil" as long as it's not women who have concerns about gender ideology doing it.

Smegmaballet · 01/07/2020 09:04

Sorry, that's what I was saying. Even though I did report it at first do to the trolly nature of it, I am glad they will let it stand actually.

It's quite useful for people to see a gloaty fucker allowed to admit to trolling on MN and still be allowed to get on with it.

It says it all really, doesn't it?

ItsLateHumpty · 01/07/2020 09:03

It’s wine o’clock here - cheers🍻

justanotherneighinparadise · 01/07/2020 09:03

They don't get it, do they?

Nope.

Its too early for this

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 01/07/2020 08:59

No point, Smeg, apparently the decision has already been made that it's very important to civil debate to let this particular thread stand.
